Kwapis to Direct Whales at Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. is in final negotiations with Ken Kwapis to direct Everybody Loves Whales, reports Variety.

The script, written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, is based on the story of three California gray whales found trapped in the Arctic ice in October 1988, when their plight created a media circus in the tiny Alaskan town.

Besides directing He’s Just Not That Into You for New Line, Kwapis has also helmed two other projects for Warner Bros. – The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and License to Wed.
